Event will showcase student talent
April 14, 2012 (San Diego) – More than 1,000 high school business students from over 65 high school Virtual Enterprise programs from California and Illinois will participate in the 11th annual Southern California Virtual Enterprise Trade/Fair Business Competition on April 16 from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. The event will be held at Jacobs Center, 404 Euclid Avenue, San Diego and features more than 65 booths staffed by students marketing virtual products or services showcasing their student-run businesses.
This business-simulation trade fair features high school students "selling" the products and services for virtual companies they have designed and developed. The virtual companies are created from students’ creative and innovative ideas. Many incorporate “green” concepts and technology into their businesses with a high school emphasis.
The Virtual Enterprise Program has 250 companies statewide and this event is one of four major trade fairs held throughout the state. During the trade fair, students compete in categories such as Salesmanship, Booth Design and Billboard Design. Prior to the trade fair event, students have also competed in categories that included web design, video commercials, financial statements, catalogs and newsletters. All competitions are judged by local business professionals and SCORE representatives, with a Top-10 Award Ceremony beginning at 1:30 PM.
There is also a competitive component to the trade fair. Local community and business sponsors serve as judges for competitions in booth design and salesmanship. Other pre-judged categories include business catalogs, website design, video commercials, financial statements, and company newsletters.
